Baggage Information for code-sharing flights

On code-sharing flights, the operating airline's transportation rules should apply.

In case of non-compliance, such hand luggage will be collected at the boarding gate and placed in the hold. We recommend to verify baggage allowances of the operating airline prior departure.
